The Roband F28 F Series 2 x 8L Double Pan Benchtop Commercial Deep Fryer is a high-output, dual-tank commercial Deep Fryer engineered specifically for Australian commercial kitchens, cafes, takeaway shops, food trucks, pubs, clubs, and catering operations requiring maximum frying capacity and menu flexibility. Measuring 545mm in width, this heavy-duty double pan benchtop unit features twin independent 8-litre oil tanks (16 litres total capacity), allowing chefs to double production during peak service rushes, stagger meal orders, or run completely separate tanks to eliminate cross-contamination between fish, chips, and gluten-free items.

Constructed from heavy-duty commercial stainless steel, the Roband F28 includes two heavy-duty chrome-plated baskets (215mm W x 215mm D x 137mm H, 1 kg chip capacity per basket), delivering an impressive production yield of up to 20 kg of frozen chips or 21 kg of thawed chips per hour. Powered by two independent single-phase 15 Amp power supplies (2 x 3,450W), each tank heats from +25°C to +180°C in just 13 minutes. Featuring independent swing-back heating elements, easily removable oil pans, two stainless steel pan covers, precision thermostat controls, and comprehensive safety features, it is backed by a 12-Month Commercial Parts and Labour Warranty.

Why Choose the Roband F28 F Series Double Pan Benchtop Fryer?

Choosing the Roband F28 F Series Double Pan Fryer equips busy commercial kitchens with a versatile, high-capacity, and energy-efficient frying station built for demanding daily service.

Key reasons commercial operators specify the Roband F28 include:

• Dual Independent 8L Oil Tank Flexibility: Two completely separate 8-litre stainless steel oil pans with dedicated power cords and thermostats allow you to cook fish and chips simultaneously without cross-contamination, or turn off one tank during quiet periods to save power.

• Swing-Back Elements & Easily Removable Tanks: Heating elements swing up out of the pans to allow effortless lifting and removal of the oil tanks for fast end-of-shift cleaning and oil filtration.

• Precision Thermostat Controls with Safety Cut-Outs: Accurate mechanical thermostats maintain tight frying temperatures across both pans, paired with safety over-temperature cut-outs to prevent oil overheating.

• Element Guards & Capillary Protection: Built-in element guards protect heating coils from food debris while shielding internal thermostat capillaries from physical impact.

• Stainless Steel Pan Covers Included: Supplied complete with two fitted stainless steel lids to cover the tanks outside service hours, preserving oil freshness and keeping out dust.

• Ergonomic & Safe Operation: Features cool-touch insulated basket handles, clear MIN/MAX oil level markers, and integrated safety power isolating switches for each circuit.

Operating & Cleaning Guidelines

1. Setup & Pre-Heating: Position the fryer on a flat, heat-resistant countertop. Connect each power cord to a dedicated 240V 15A outlet. Fill the oil tanks between the MIN and MAX markers before turning on the power isolating switches and setting your target operating temperature (+25°C to +180°C).

2. Double Pan Frying: Load up to 1 kg of product per basket. Lower the baskets into the oil once the thermostat indicator light confirms target temperature is reached. Utilize the two independent tanks to separate different food types or run a single pan during quiet trading hours.

3. Daily Cleaning & Maintenance: Allow oil to cool safely at the end of trading shifts. Swing back the heating elements to drain residual oil, then lift out the removable oil tanks for filtering and cleaning. Place the stainless steel pan covers over the tanks overnight to protect oil quality.
